What Song Do You WANT As The Opener, and What Song Do You THINK Will Be The Opener?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I'd like to see them shake things up just a bit, or at least back to 1983....


I WANT them to open with Romeo Delight, but I think they'll still open with Unchained.....

A couple of people on FB (including Carmine) voted for this one, which I don't think is realistic with 2015 Dave....

[Jetstream]

DOA but they will probably start using Panama

[cadaverdog]

Rock and Roll.

[DLR Bridge]

They abso-friggin'-lutely need to go back to the old way of opening a show with the slow moving prison search lights and the band rumbling on their instruments in the dark. There is no greater way to pump a crowd's adrenalin. The last tour, they just walked on stage like 'alright, we're gonna start now'.

That being said, if the 3 twins have DLR on board with doing it, I'd say they rip into Light Up The Sky as an opener.

[Seshmeister]

I still doubt Light Up The Sky will make it.

Dave's solo band tried for a while to get him to do it and that was 13 years ago...

If they do it then people may wish they hadn't. My experience is that if a singer doesn't think he will do well with a song then it's a self fulfilling prophecy...

[IceCreamBlondie]

How about Little Guitars or Blood and Fire as an opener? Or, at least somewhere in the set list?

But I am fine with Unchained!

[vandeleur]

Love blood and fire but last time the played it live Dave didn't do it justice

[vaijuju]

in 2007 .they oponed with YRGM

I think he can churn out a more decent incarnation of this song than what he's done to a few others. I've heard some say this song is too fast for him. The guy is a motormouth. If he can do that silly "top of the pops" bit night in and night out, he can pull this tune off. No need to sweat the screams or high notes as he isn't sweatin' them anywhere else. Hell, do a trade off with Wolf on some of those pesky over-lapped verses that he did in the studio. They can dooo eeet.

[Never was]

I think actual opener will be Hot For Teacher

I'd like to see Mean Street or something way different like Stay Frosty with just a spot on Dave then bring it all on. That will never happen but could still pump that out as a summer single opener for a summer tour plus can merch it.

The Full Bug

It doesn't matter to me what they open with. As long as D.O.A. is somewhere in the setlist, I'm cool with that.

[Grit]

Would love to hear "Everybody Wants Some" as the opener!

Seems to be a natural opening song. You have each band member take the stage as their part in the song kicks in, starting off with Alex, then Wolf, then Eddie, and finally Dave. Can't believe they haven't thought of this.
